Nia Jax will make her in-ring comeback against Lana at the WES debut event
The Wrestling Entertainment Series (WES) debut show was originally scheduled to commence on June 4 in England, but the event was moved to July 9 due to Queen Elizabeth's jubilee celebrations.
Nia Jax will collide with former WWE star Lana, now known as CJ Perry, for the promotion's Women's Championship. This will be both stars' first match since leaving WWE.
After her release, Jax took to Instagram to state that she was heartbroken to be let go, and that she enjoyed her time in the company:
"It breaks my heart to be so abruptly let go, without consultation, when dealing with so much privately. I loved my career at WWE, I love the men and women I worked with, and I am going to need time to process this huge loss. I appreciate those people who have shown understanding and compassion during an incredibly difficult time," said Jax.
During her time with the sports entertainment giant, The Irresistible Force was a multi-time champion and collided with many stars such as Ronda Rousey, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair. It'll be interesting to see what she does next in WES.
